The Albany Great Danes upset Washington on Tuesday, knocking off the Huskies, 63-62.

The game was a defensive battle as both teams went long spells without scoring. Neither team was able to separate in the first half and Albany took a 31-27 lead into halftime. Washington appeared to start pulling away in the second half and led 48-40 with just under 11 minutes to play, but the Great Danes came back with a 12-4 run to tie the game at 52-52.

After trading key thee-pointers late, Aziz N'Diaye missed two free throws with the Huskies trailing 61-60, but Abdul Gaddy tracked down the offensive rebound and scored to give the Huskies a 62-61 lead with 20 seconds to play. Mike Black, however, answered right back with a driving layup with three seconds to play. Gaddy had a deep look for the win, but it rimmed off and Albany celebrated the 63-62 win.
